Hi Natka, Tackle is when one player tries to take the ball from another player in a challenge. Tackle can be a noun or a verb. Hope that helps!

We don't all use the same descriptions but I usually describe players such as Diego Costa (Chelsea), Robin van Persie (Man Utd) and Olivier Giroud (Arsenal) as strikers. They are the players who are the closest to the opponents goal and usually score the most goals. Strikers are attackers but attackers also include more creative players like Santi Cazorla, Juan Mata, and David Silva and wingers like Jesus Navas, Raheem Sterling and Angel Di Maria. I hope this helps. Rich - The Premier Skills English Team

so soon Jack!, I'm really excited to learn more, even the subject 'football' was not interesting for me, but I like your pedagogical way. It makes me a football fan, and of course encourages me to learn more and more English.
